OURSTORY

Way back in 2010, on my 4th birthday, my dad and grandma gave me a shoebox of LEGO® from my dad's childhood. Little did they know what they had done. I was hooked. Like absolutely hooked. After that, I started getting gifted sets like the City Corner and the Apple Tree House, which led me to build a wonderfully primitive, wonderfully rainbow LEGO® city. It wasn't long before I started taking my sets apart and building my own creations instead, and that's really where my passion for MOCs (My Own Creation) began. My collection and my city kept growing until they were a whole lot more than a shoebox.

In 8th grade, I built my first model of a real house: my own. Then 2020 came, and I suddenly had more time to build than I knew what to do with. I used it to create a detailed model of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, located near my hometown of Pittsburgh. In December of 2021, my high school's IB program required a culminating project, and that project became Blueprint Bricks, which has been growing ever since.

I got my first ever LEGO® house set! This log cabin set remains as the longest surviving set in my personal LEGO® collection.

I kept building and building! This cruise ship featured a roof-top bar and six cabins for my LEGO® city residents at the time.

2018

I honed my building skills and created the first semblances of my current LEGO® city. This rendition had working lights!

2019

In 2019, I had my Bar Mitzvah, which was of course LEGO® themed! The center pieces were custom designed by me and had working lighting on the inside.

This space ship was the first ever set I got. It was part of my Dad's LEGO® collection and dates back to 1980. It only lasted a few days before I destroyed it to make something new!
